So, from a community perspective… (a quick attempt at a definition)
A Community Second Brain is about creating a physical/digital space for collaboratively storing, organising and eventually transforming information.

- need maintenance
- promotion and marketing to the people
- should probably work on being optimised for search engines
- seek feedback and ideas
Tools for Community Second Brains
